Sometimes the worst thing for a family can be the vacation
that’s meant to bring it together. That’s why we’re sayin’ see-ya to road trips
of old. Fits? Fights? Feuds? We don’t think so! Fab up your family’s next road
trip with our four best road rules.

Road rule #1: Resist
temptation

Yeah, it’s super easy to reach out and pinch your baby bro
just ‘cause. But when he’s pinching you back—and Mom and Dad are totally on his
side—you’ll wish you’d kept your hands to yourself. So why not start that way,
huh? Instead of doing or saying the things you know are going to cause trouble, just, you know, keep your mischief
to yourself.

Road rule #2: Share

Hogging anything, whether it’s the cup holders, the snacks,
the iPod or the radio controls, is a recipe for disaster when you’re stuck in a
car with a bunch of different people for who knows how long. If you’re worried
about not getting your turn, lay down some ground rules before you hit the
road, like you and your sibs get an hour each to listen to your tunes before
swapping stations.

Road rule #3: If you
can’t say something nice…

…Don’t say it at all—seriously. We know Mom’s constant
comments about how your shorts are too short or how cute your crush is are
weighing ya down, but bite your tongue and hold back that sassy retort you’re
dying to toss into the ring. Now is not the time for a sparring match.

Road rule #4: Be a
team player

We looove road trip games, like I Spy and the License Plate
Game, but if someone in the car isn’t happy with the selection, they’ll find a
way to make everyone else unhappy, too. Instead of battling the blues, settle
on a game everyone enjoys, or take turns.Bingo, anyone?
